After years of being whipping boy for climate fanatics, coal industry sees a brighter future under Trump

Good news! China needs a lot of coal imports and continues to build dozens if not hundreds of coal fired power plants per year!

"As of July 2024, there were 1,161 operational coal power plants in China, the most in the world. China is the world's largest producer and consumer of coal, and generates more than half of the world's coal-fired electricity." (Google AI search result)

Keep in mind: Global warming is a hoax and climate change is a religion! It is being used as a pretext by Big Government and the elite to interfere with our lives. It is among the greatest scams and scandals of at least the last 30 years!

After years of being whipping boy for climate, coal industry sees a brighter future under Trump | Just The News "Retirements of coal-fired power plants in the U.S. are being delayed or canceled, while nations in Europe and Asia are showing growing interest in American coal."

Global coal demand hits record high in 2024, set to plateau through 2027

Only Western countries (in particular Germany) are stupid enough to shut down their coal fired power plants, while China builds huge number of new such plants each year.

Chart of the day

Annual coal consumption by major geographic area.

Look at e.g. India: It has reached now the highest level of U.S. consumption ever. "In 2023, the Indian government upped the ante, ordering the construction of 10 GW of new coal power.  ... In fact, India’s Prime Minister Narendra Modi is calling on the country to build 31 GW of new coal power “in the next 5 or 6 years,” ..."

At the expense of Western countries! Western citizens are indoctrinated on a daily basis with the Global Warming hoax and Climate Change demagoguery!

P.S. Our World in Data appears to be a very nice website for data visualization, exploration etc.

China's New Coal Power Plant Capacity in 2020 More Than 3 Times Rest of World's

Something to ponder about! Any Western country that seeks to reach so called "carbon neutrality" by 2050 is plain stupid! The Communist Party of China must be amazed about such self inflicted, nonsensical economic damage by its ideological opponent!

"China put 38.4 gigawatts (GW) of new coal-fired power capacity into operation in 2020, according to new international research, more than three times the amount built elsewhere around the world and potentially undermining its short-term climate goals.  ...
Including decommissions, China's coal-fired fleet capacity rose by a net 29.8 GW in 2020, even as the rest of the world made cuts of 17.2 GW, according to research released on Wednesday by Global Energy Monitor (GEM), a U.S. think tank, and the Helsinki-based Centre for Research on Energy and Clean Air (CREA). "

"... China currently has an estimated 400 GW of excess coal-fired capacity, compared with the amount of capacity needed to ensure stable power supply. The amount of excess capacity nationwide increased by 140 gigawatts from 2015 to 2019, as 160 GW of coal-fired power, 300 GW of non-fossil power ..."
